Healthy Recipe: Prawn Tacos with Lime Avocado Salsa
Ingredients
- 1 just-ripe avocado, stoned, peeled, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped coriander
- 1 red birdseye chilli (optional), seeded, finely chopped
- 2 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
- 1kg Raw Deli Prawns Thawed, peeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Mexican seasoning
- 12 small flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup (150g) low fat mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 red cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 carrot, peeled, cut into matchsticks
- 2 radishes, thinly sliced
Method
Combine the avocado, coriander, chilli, if using, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the lime juice in a bowl. Season. Set aside for 10 mins to develop the flavours.
Combine the prawns, oil and Mexican seasoning in a medium bowl. Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook the prawns, turning, for 5 mins or until prawns change colour and curl. Meanwhile, heat the tortillas following packet directions.
Combine mayonnaise, paprika and remaining lime juice in a bowl. Season. Divide tortillas among serving plates. Divide cabbage, carrot, radish and lime-avocado salsa among the tortillas. Top with the prawns. Drizzle with the mayonnaise mixture. Fold to enclose the filling. Serve immediately. Enjoy
Modern eating habits, busy schedules, and reduced outdoor time all contribute to nutrient gaps. The good news is that small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference.
Breathing is a built‑in stress‑management system that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
When life becomes busy or overwhelming, breathing patterns often shift without us noticing—becoming shallow, fast, or irregular. This signals the body to stay alert, keeping the nervous system in a heightened state.
Many people grew up with fitness messages focused on intensity, discipline, and “earning” food. Over time, this can create an unhealthy relationship with exercise—one driven by guilt or pressure rather than enjoyment.
